Packaging, toys, clothing, pipes, tires ... plastics are everywhere and the health crisis is an opportunity for manufacturers to restore the image of all disposable.
Without scruple: there is recycling!
Except that of the 7 billion tonnes of plastics produced since the 1950s, 91% are not recycled.
They pollute the ocean, the soil, the air and it's not about to stop!

published by Kero.
